What constitutes catching up with the Friday prayer, and is it obligatory for the traveler?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From the questioner’s questions, he asks about the Friday prayer: if one missed the Friday prayer while traveling but caught up with the tashahhud, what is required of him? And does the Friday prayer become waived if a person is traveling?
Answer:
If one catches up with the imam for a complete rak'ah of the Friday prayer, he has caught up with the Friday prayer. He adds another rak'ah after the imam’s taslim, and his Friday prayer is complete. As for the one who catches up with less than a rak'ah, such as one who arrives after the imam has raised his head from the ruku' of the second rak'ah, or while the imam is sitting for the tashahhud, he joins him with the intention of the Zuhr prayer, as he has missed the Friday prayer. As for the traveler, the Friday prayer is not obligatory upon him, but if he attends it, it suffices for him in place of the Zuhr prayer. Yes.
